Winter Of Code

About The Program


Winter of Code is a program aimed to increase participation for the Google Summer of Code program among students in colleges and universities.

Winter of Code is here to light up your winter spirits with the wide world of open source development. This initiative aims to prepare you for the grand Google Summer of Code. Join us for a month-long programming project with an open-source organisation.

As a part of the Winter of Code, students are paired with mentors from the participating organisation. This initiative aims at developing your skills in real-world software development in a wide range of specializations. In turn, the participating organisation gets to know your potential and also gives you the correct exposure that you need in your formative years. Above all, we hope you get encouraged into the world of open source and develop more code for the benefit of all.

Students

Students

Students interested in Winter of Code can register by filling a form. Selected students will work with mentors from their accepted organisations. They'll amalgamate with their organisations before coding, learning about the community. Students have one month to code and meet deadlines agreed upon with mentors. Successful completion earns cool schwags.

Organisations

Organisations

Open source organisations can apply to be mentor organisations. Once accepted, organisations discuss ideas with students and decide on proposals to mentor. They provide feedback, guiding each student through the program. Mentors and students collaborate to determine milestones and requirements. Mentor interaction is a vital part of the program.

Mentors

Mentors

Mentors guide students throughout their projects, reviewing code samples. They offer valuable feedback, suggesting improvements. Mentors determine if a student has successfully completed the Winter of Code project. Students are then notified of the pass/fail status, and schwags are delivered accordingly.
